Through over 20 years of Memorial Holiday Weekend golf trips, our group of eight ladies from Northern Virginia had never had a hole-in-one, but decided this year it was about time so established a Hole-in-One pool - perfect timing for me! 2017 was our first trip to Pinehurst which must have been the magic charm. While the USGA Men's Fourball occupied #2 and #8, we enjoyed play on others, including #9, the "National" course and a great track. Hole #12 pin was perched on the very front of the green, allowing my 90-yard pitching wedge to fly directly into the hole, clanging the flag but no ricochet - BAM! Needless to say we took extra sips from our Birdie flasks before using that pool money for more celebrating later. A memorable Memorial Holiday at Pinehurst!
